The fact that the XMLHttpRequest is a de facto standard and not an actual standard worries me though, with out being accepted by the w3c, it seems like a very volatile technology. But if google is using it, i guess we are safe. :)
I'd be interested to see some examples if you create any. Andrew Eric Lease Morgan wrote:
Ajax is a thing I'd like to play with more: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/06/09/rails_ajax.html By exploiting a Javascript function called XMLHttpRequest it is possible to create Web pages that seem more like desktop applications. By not forcing the user to go from page to page to page it is possible to keep the attention of users longer as well as provide a more interactive experience. The link above describes this in more detail and points to a number of Javascript libraries for a number of languages enabling you to write such applications more easily. FYI. -- Eric Morgan
